Additional file 2: of A new genomic library of melon introgression lines in a cantaloupe genetic background for dissecting desirable agronomical traits

SNPs used for the construction of the IL population. Background SNPs Sequenom-HRM: These were selected from those previously mapped in the melon genetic map used to anchor the first version of the melon genome [9]. The map position is indicated according to the map used to anchor the genome [9] as well as a new version of the genetic map [11]. The physical position in the last version of the melon genome (v3.5.1) available at [10] is indicated. The SNP and flanking sequence is included for all the markers used in the Sequenom assay, and the primers for those that were adapted to the HRM genotyping procedure are also provided. Markers that could not be accurately called in the Sequenom assay and that failed to show the expected polymorphism between the IL parents (VED and MAK) are marked as failed markers (f). SNPs in candidates: Additional set of SNPs located in candidate genes reported to be involved in sugar and ethylene metabolism. These markers were validated in [8] and had been generated in a previous resequencing study, using VED and MAK among other melon genotypes [3]. The physical position in the last version of the melon genome (v3.5.1) available at [10] is indicated. The SNP and flanking sequence is included for all the markers used in the Sequenom assay.
